The Penn State Nittany Lions host the Michigan Wolverines this weekend and Penn State defensive coordinator Manny Diaz decided to troll the Wolverines over the ongoing sign-stealing scandal.
In a recent video, Diaz looks into a camera and starts making a series of gestures with his hands. He then explained that they’re the “signals” for what the team wants the fans to do during the game.
“Those are the signals for ‘get there early,’ ‘be loud,’ ‘especially on third down,'” Diaz said.
As you might expect, Michigan fans were not in the least bit amused by Diaz’s antics and pledged to make the Nittany Lions suffer for it on Saturday:

“All good, make sure you keep them jokes for after the game,” one user replied to Trevor Woods.
“I found his attempt at being a head coach to be far funnier than this,” wrote another.
“We, as Michigan fans, have to get used to this now! Our new normal! I however will need to lean on you folks for a good comeback, because I can only think of a clever comeback weeks after an issue!” a third declared.
The game will be played at 12 p.m. ET and will air on Fox.
